Orthopaedics and Hand surgery

Orthopaedics encompasses injuries and problems of the organs of movement in people of all ages and the diagnosis and treatment of these. Typical examinations and surgical procedures are arthroscopy of the shoulder joint, hip, knee and ankle and joint prosthesis operations on the knee and hip. Hand surgery concentrates on diseases of the hand, wrist and elbow.
